The Stanley Cup Final is well underway as it appears that the Red Wings are looking like they will repeat as Stanley Cup champions once again. We still have some unfinished business to take care of, so we'll do a quick assessment of the Blackhawk players with fantasy significance and take a look at what could be in store for them next season.
Five Stars
Martin Havlat – The oft-injured band-aid boy certainly debunked his moniker this season as he managed to participate in all but two games this season. He finished off the post-season with 15 points in 16 playoff games and was certainly instrumental for the Blackhawks in their playoff run this season. He's scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season, but is currently entrenched in strong negotiations with Chicago GM Dave Tallon for a contract extension. My prediction is that he re-signs with Chicago at around the $5- $5.5 million per season and once again flirts with the point-per-game mark.
Brent Seabrook – Seabrook is certainly deserving of the five stars that I awarded him for these playoffs as he was a monster while averaging 26 minutes of ice-time in 17 playoff contests for the Blackhawks. He also led the team in power-play ice time while picking up 3:28 per contest on the man advantage. Seabrook is a bit of a tweener, meaning that he's more of a stay-at-home defenseman, but does have offensive capabilities when he is called upon. Being paired up with Duncan Keith, the duo has certainly established themselves as one of the best shut down pairings in the league. With a solid performance this post-season this year, look for him to tally close to 40 points next year.
Four Stars
Patrick Kane – Kane finished the post-season with a team-high nine goals in 14 playoff contests. He also led all players, who had 20 SOG or more, in shooting percentage while connecting at a blistering rate of 26.5 percent. The only real blemish that Kane had on his record was his poor minus nine rating. With another season of experience under his belt, look for his overall minus 11 rating to improve next season while making a run at his first point-per-game season of his career.
Jonathan Toews – Toews had a terrific post-season as he finished with a team high 43 SOG. He averaged 2.38 SOG per contest during the regular season, but upped that to 2.53 during these playoffs. Toews does have a pretty decent career shooting percentage, so if he can maintain a 17 percent shooting percentage while averaging at the 2.53 SOG per contest rate, look for him to tally close to 40 goals next season.
Dave Bolland – Bolland certainly surprised many this post-season while tallying 12 points in 17 playoffs contests. He finished only three points shy of the team-leader Havlat. With his solid post-season it appears that Bolland has certainly cemented himself as the number two center behind Toews heading into next season. Look for him to make a solid run at 55 points next season.
Kris Versteeg – Very similar to the rest of the Blackhawk forwards, Versteeg did enough to get himself an honourable mention during these playoffs as he picked up 12 points in 17 contests for Chicago. He did a little bit of everything while contributing on the PIMs and SOG front. Last week I wrote a column regarding projections, so if we assume that he plays a similar role next year, as he did these playoffs, and we use the numbers that I posted last week (130 SOG, 16:13 TOI average) a reasonable projection for him next season would be around 50 points.
Three Stars
Dustin Byfuglien - Buffy certainly impressed me with his performance during the playoffs. He didn't put up mind boggling numbers this post-season, but did exactly what was asked of him while creating traffic and paying the price in front of the net by distracting opposing goaltenders. He was out matched by his counterpart Tomas Holmstrom, but it appears that Buffy has found his niche in the NHL for the near future. If he can continue to produce alongside Kane, Toews or Havlat on the power-play look for him to be near the 45 point range next season.
Brian Campbell – Campbell posted 10 points in 17 playoff contests for the Blackhawks. A lot was expected from the offensive defenseman this season when he signed a lucrative contract with Chicago during the off-season. With the recent development of Cam Barker, Duncan Keith and the aforementioned Seabrook, there have been numerous rumours regarding Campbell being shipped off to another team during the off-season. His massive contract along with the current needs of the Blackhawks organization will certainly stymie all of the rumours that are going to pop up during the off-season. Look for Campbell to have another 45-50 point season with the Blackhawks next season.
Cam Barker – Barker took another step in his development this post-season as he picked up nine points in 17 playoffs contests this year. What's also amazing is that he accomplished that feat while averaging less than 17 minutes per game during the playoffs. Barker was ranked second overall behind only Seabrook for power-play ice-time at 3:15 per contest for the Blackhawks. Chicago took their time with his development instead of rushing him to the NHL early on in his career, and it looks like it has done wonders for the former third overall pick from the 2004 NHL Entry Draft. He ended up with the highest point per minute ice-time ratio amongst the Chicago blue-line during the playoffs. Look for him to be an integral part of the Chicago power-play unit next season while making a solid run at 50 points.
Duncan Keith – Keith didn't have a terrible post-season but compared to the three other major blue-liners in Chicago he was by far the least productive. Keith finished with six points in 17 contests, while averaging 24:38 in ice-time per contest during these playoffs. He had a decent regular season when he tallied a career-high 44 points. I personally think that he reverts back towards his true stay-at-home self and drops back towards the 30-35 point mark next season.
Two Stars
Nikolai Khabibulin – I debated about whether to give Khabibulin a passing mark or a below average mark and in the end I just couldn't justify giving him three stars with the mediocre stats that he posted during the playoffs. Of the goalies amongst the final eight teams in the playoffs, Khabi ranked dead last in goals against average and save percentage (2.93 and .898). If it wasn't for the third-ranked 3.18 goals scored per game average fired by his offense, Khabibulin certainly wouldn't have finished the post-season winning 53.3 percent of his contests. What's interesting for next season is that despite having Cristobal Huet ready and willing to go as the number one, the Blackhawks' management team may be considering re-signing Khabibulin as a fallback plan. Chicago is a great young up-and-coming team, so maybe he might be tempted to take a pay cut and strive for another Stanley Cup.
One Star
Andrew Ladd – I had big expectations for Ladd because he potted 49 points during the regular season, but was greatly disappointed when he tallied a whooping four points in 17 contests. One would wonder if the Blackhawks could have upset the Red Wings if Ladd had produced along the same pace as some of the players mentioned above? I'm seriously pondering if the former fourth overall player is on his way to becoming a bust, if he hasn't been classified as one already. With his poor play this post-season you would probably think that he played himself out of a top-six role next season.
I just wanted to finish off by saying thanks for all the positive comments that were left in the comments section of last week's column . Its comments like those that really make the fun of writing a column more enjoyable rather than being tedious. I'll see you back here again next week.
Dobber's note: If you missed last week's column, you can find it here . Easily Ryan's best, and possibly one of the most helpful columns on this site of the past year.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
In case you missed Wednesday night's episode of the Colbert Report, we thought we'd show you Stephen Colbert getting his head 3D printed by MakerBot Industries. Is that the geekiest thing you've ever seen on the Colbert Report or what?
On a recent episode of the Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert got a chance to have his head 3D-printed. His guest on the show, Bre Pettis--who is a founder of 3D-printer manufacturer MakerBot--showed off some of the more interesting creations that can be made using their unique printer, along with some very interesting prints of Stephen (yes, you know you want one). In the episode we see that with some creativity even Stephen Colbert can be given wings and tentacles. And the best part? Now you can have your own Stephen with tentacles or you can make your own creation!
MakerBot's Thing-O-Matic is the 3D printer which you can see in the video printing Stephen Colbert's head. Due to the high cost of traditional printers the team at MakerBot came up with a cheap 3D printer, the Thing-O-Matic, that almost anyone can own if you have a little spare cash; you can get one for only $1299.00--cheap compared to some of the more expensive commercial printers which can run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars, or even millions.
The Thing-O-Matic is not just cheap, but it's also fairly accurate. According to Bre Petti the Thing-O-Matic theoretically has an accuracy in the microns, but due to the larger layering of the printer it's really more accurate to about 1/3 of a millimeter. While it might not be accurate enough for items that require a high degree of precision, it is good enough to make some pretty neat stuff.
On the MakerBot community Thingiverse, you can view, download, and 3D-print other people's creations. You can even print the awesome Colbertopus (photo above) or the bizarre Lepus Colberus (The Colberabbit). Be sure to check out all the Colbert things on Thingiverse.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

The Final Frontier....Airlines, that is...
I don't know what's worse--that the uppercrusters at Frontier Airlines think all we care about is the cookies, or that the oafs at the journal sentinel think we're so insecure about our food issues here that we need reassurance in the headlines.
Case in point: Republic Airways announced (big surprise), it would be dropping the Midwest name from their ships...er, planes.... as of 2011, and replacing them with more panoramic animal pictures. I guess Frontier's plane designs are the Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom of plane designs.
Spill, Baby, Spill!
We're no longer on the eve of an environmental disaster. This is the day of environmental disaster. As reports flood in that oil has already reached the shores of Louisiana, many of us are asking, "Why?" Others are asking, "How?" And finally, Republicans are asking, "So what?"
Well, that last one isn't exactly true. Or fair. But Republicans have done the equivalent of turning their heads in the air, looking around, and asking, "Hmm? What? Did you say something?". They're ignoring what's going on around us. That is, except Bobby Jindal, who yesterday declared a state of emergency for Louisiana, asking the National Guard to be mobilized. And, of course, except for Charlie Crist..who has now taken a serious look at his position on drilling. But don't worry folks, these guys won't be Republicans for long. They're obviously too sensible and moderate to appeal to the newly rabid core constituency.

Restaurants and Retailers Enjoy Greater Numbers Without Vehicle Traffic
TELLURIDE – A survey conducted by Todd Brown of the Telluride accounting services firm ASAP suggests that Telluride retail merchants and restaurants on Colorado Avenue experience greater sales when Colorado Avenue was closed to vehicle traffic during weekend events. While Brown collected data from only five merchants, he combined this data with five years of data collection from 12 local restaurants to provide historical context and to create a more in-depth analysis.
Brown, who has a master's degree in statistics, questions the validity of his own survey due to the lack of participants. "There are far too few data points to make this statistically valid. Ideally, there would be a minimum of 25 participants and the data would be collected over several years," Brown said. He strongly believes, however, the results are indicative of what happens to business sales during street closures.
"This survey was intended to bring some data to the allegations and stories that business owners on Colorado Avenue have been telling for years," he added. "While I'm disappointed more businesses did not participate, the survey has rekindled many conversations and it will be discussed at the next merchants meeting on Thursday, August 8."
Brown began collecting data from three retailers located at the west end of Colorado Avenue and two located on the east end between late March into early June, before the arrival of the near 12,000 Telluride Bluegrass Festival with its 12,000 attendance.
End of Ski Season
On Fridays at the end of ski season (late March and early April), Brown's long-term restaurant data suggest that eateries historically enjoyed 31 percent higher than average sales than on Thursdays and Saturdays. In 2013, overall restaurant revenues during late ski season were 20 percent higher than Brown's long-term average.
On the day of the KOTO street dance, Friday, April 5, restaurants on the west end of Colorado Avenue saw 62 percent better than average sales for a Friday at the end of the ski season. Restaurants on the east end of Colorado Avenue, however, saw only a three percent increase in sales.
Retailers on the west end of Colorado Avenue saw 65 percent better than average sales while stores on the east end saw an increase of 772 percent. The triple-digit percentage increase on east end is due to a small sample size generating significantly higher than usual sales during this period. Overall, restaurants and retailers in the sample saw a 193 percent increase in business over the long-term seasonal average on the day of the KOTO street dance.
Jerry Greene, owner of Baked in Telluride, believes the higher-than-average retail and restaurant sales in this period was thanks to improved snow conditions.
"The important factor for 2013 is improvement from the disastrous winter of 2011-2012, Greene wrote in an email to a retailers mailing list, and quoted with his permission. "Since the snow pattern were even worse that winter than the year before, this can reasonably be attributed to a change in ski area marketing philosophy,"
"We can be thankful that business is at least steady and not in downturn," he added.
Late May into June – Before Bluegrass
In the period between late May and into June, typically a slow period before the Telluride Bluegrass Festival, Brown's data show restaurants earning 29 percent higher revenues on Saturdays than Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays. For 2013, however, overall restaurant revenues during the period remained unchanged from the average.
On Saturday, May 25, the day of the Mountainfilm Ice Cream Social, restaurants on the west end of Colorado Avenue had sales 34 percent better than average. Restaurants on the east end also saw higher numbers, earning 24 percent higher than average sales. Retailers on the west end had sales 69 percent better than average, while east end merchants saw sales only an 18 percent increase. Combined, restaurants and retailers saw a 36 percent increase in business over the long-term seasonal average.
The Balloon Glow on the evening of Saturday, June 1, saw 85 percent higher than average restaurant sales on the east end of Colorado Avenue, while the west end saw sales only four percent better than average. During the Balloon Glow, retailers on the west end of Colorado Avenue saw 50 percent better than average sales and east end retailers saw a 22 percent increase in sales. Compared with other street-closing events, the retail participants and restaurants saw only a four percent increase in sales.
At the Ride the Rockies event on Saturday, June 8, restaurants on the west end saw a near-triple digit increase in sales, topping out at a 91 percent increase over the seasonal average. Restaurants on the east end benefited from the bikers as well, seeing a 58 percent increase. Retailers on the west end apparently benefited from the lack of gates; according to the study, businesses saw a 122 percent increase in sales while east end retailers saw only a 13 percent increase. Retailers and restaurants in the sample enjoyed a 64 percent boost in sales.
Events like Ride the Rockies – those involving alcohol (either served or sold) – require a temporary fenced-off area on Colorado Avenue, blocking easy access for attendees to freely shop and enjoy the restaurants. Hearing the demands of many Telluride merchants, the Town of Telluride did not require 2013's Ride the Rockies to construct a gated zone. Brown believes his data suggest that the loosened regulation on fences facilitated more business at Colorado Avenue retailers and restaurants.
Local retailers expressed frustration that many businesses on the west end of Columbia Avenue saw larger increases in business activity than those on the east side.
"While I am not for total development, we do need a restaurant and hotel on East Colorado Avenue to 'anchor' the other end of the commercial," said Michelle Davis, owner of the AromaSpa Salon & Boutique on East Colorado Avenue, in an email, and quoted here with her permission.
Brown suggests his study implies that individual events boost foot traffic and spur restaurant and retail sales. While weekend events attract visitors, they do very little to improve midweek revenues.
Merchants and restaurateurs looking to participate in upcoming surveys from ASAP can contact firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.

The Innovator's Dilemma: The Revolutionary Book that Will Change the Way You Do Business
HarperCollins, 2003 - Business & Economics - 286 pages
In this revolutionary bestseller, Harvard professor Clayton M. Christensen says outstanding companies can do everything right and still lose their market leadership -- or worse, disappear completely. And he not only proves what he says, he tells others how to avoid a similar fate.
Focusing on "disruptive technology" -- the Honda Super Cub, Intel's 8088 processor, or the hydraulic excavator, for example -- Christensen shows why most companies miss "the next great wave." Whether in electronics or retailing, a successful company with established products will get pushed aside unless managers know when to abandon traditional business practices. Using the lessons of successes and failures from leading companies, The Innovator's Dilemma presents a set of rules for capitalizing on the phenomenon of disruptive innovation.
Find out:
Sharp, cogent, and provocative, The Innovator's Dilemma is one of the most talked-about books of our time -- and one no savvy manager or entrepreneur should be without.

Some people believe that it requires some leap of faith to disbelieve god's existence. This is absolutely idiotic. Atheism is a lack of a belief in god. If you are religious, ask yourself: "Why do I believe in god?" Whether or not you claim to have evidence for your faith, the correct answer is because someone taught you about god. You did not know what god was until someone told you. Either you were taught, or you invented your own version of god, deluded yourself, and poisoned other minds with your falsehoods.
One cannot make the argument that atheism requires a leap of faith. Nonbelief is not an active conscious process. One would not continue throughout their day repeating "I don't believe. I don't believe. I don't believe." Justification of disbelief is a different process entirely. Rejecting belief is an active conscious process but maintaining disbelief is not because there is nothing to maintain. Belief is always an active conscious process. Belief requires constant reaffirmation e.g. "I believe because of this, that, and the other." Disbelief does not require this. Faith can only exist in the presence of a conscious appeal to the mind. If the conscious appeal is gone (or never existed in the first place) then one cannot believe. Arguing for the case of the opposite simply does not make sense. There is no conscious appeal to disbelief. The truth is, god is a concept invented by man.
Views: 678
Unseen: I think that's exactly what I said. "Nonbelief is NOT an active conscious PROCESS."
Belief is an active conscious process because it requires pondering your faith for reaffirmation.
You would be correct that nonbelief is also a state of being, where the state is OFF. :-)
Rick Povero: I agree with you on trust. While running for public office against serious competition some years ago, I saw that to struggle for political power is to struggle for a position in which I need not trust anyone. It is a futile struggle; even tyrants have to trust those who protect them from assassination.
Gary Clouse: I too describe myself as an agnostic atheist. The first atheists I met (in a university atheists club) claimed to know gods do not exist. I was studying math and distinguished what I believed from what I knew.
I'm a more complete skeptic than even atheists; I doubt even the dogma that it's impossible to prove a negative. So many dogmas have fallen: three in our own time. Heisenberg gave uncertainty to physics, Godel gave undecidability to mathematics, Derrida gave deconstruction to language. I believe someone will someday give unknowability to logic.
I doubt even the dogma that it's impossible to prove a negative.
It's plainly possible to prove some negatives, but not all. I don't know where this myth about the impossibility of proving negatives started, but simply consider that if you claim you don't have antlers growing out of your head, anyone can look to verify that fact, and if looking isn't proof enough, what would be?
Unseen: you weren't there when I took the leap from Catholicism. I had no knowledge of where my leap would take me.
You express more certainty than I want to trust.
Tom Sarbeck: Logically, and by definition, Non existence is not negative. It is simply nothing. A negative can be proven through the existence of a complement, which cancels it out.
Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle , is the idea that, in quantum physics, the energy used to observe the quantum state of a particle changes the quantum state of the particle. So you can't be certain what the particle is currently doing, only what it was doing. when last observed.
But the question is: Does atheism require a leap of faith?
Years ago, Dr Isaac Asimov used the term "judo argument" for the flawed mental exercises of Christians that attempt to leverage science to support the presumed existence of god. Judo is a field of oriental fighting skill that uses an opponent's strength against him.
Thr judo argument in question claims it requires a leap of faith to be an atheist. I disagree. A "Leap of faith" is an action based on a belief, where no evidence supports the belief. It is a real example of pretzel logic. They are basically claiming atheism is a religion
Gary, are you remarking on someone else's words?
I spoke of a leap from Catholicism with no knowledge of where my leap would take me.
Because atheists at the university claimed knowledge, I leaped to agnosticism.
The knowledge they claimed is still lacking.
Also, Gary, your "So you can't be certain what the particle is currently doing, only what it was doing. when last observed." lacks precision. The instruments now being used also lack precision.
The moment the particle being measured was "last observed" follows by a short time the moment the measuring particle struck the particle being measured. The uncertainty is greater than you say.
And for fun, bouncing a particle off a moving bowling ball changes the bowling ball's momentun by an amount smaller than current instruments can measure.
Here's why I am an "atheist" vs. "agnostic" (and why it is relevant to this topic).
The stance of an agnostic is that one doesn't/can't know. ("agnostic" means "no knowledge")
This is the default state. This is the truly neutral position. It is neither On nor Off. The switch is stuck in the middle. And it is obviously the most rational and logical state (well, at least in terms of things that really are unknowable)
So when it comes to the existence of God (any of them; my default focus of non-belief, and discussions thereof, is the Christian God, but I hold all of the others in the same boat), it is a thing that ultimately can't be known (while we're alive, anyway). Sure, most non-believers find the idea to be so ridiculously preposterous that it feels like it can be known to be false, but it truly can't. Even with no tangible evidence, it still cannot be said with absolute certainty that God does not exist.
I can entertain that thought. I can entertain the thought that God may actually exist. I can entertain that I may be wrong in my non-belief.
But only intellectually. My mind can accept those things through logic. But when my mind is being honest with itself, I flip the switch fully Off. I can entertain those thought, but I can never accept them.
I KNOW that God does not exist, even though it is impossible to know that.
That is the "leap of faith" of which they speak.

In this article
After you've given birth, it's normal to have some bleeding, and to feel a little discomfort and tiredness. Time, rest and self-help are usually all that is needed to make you feel better.
Nevertheless, real medical emergencies do occasionally happen in the days and weeks following birth. It's important to seek help as soon as possible to make sure you don't become severely ill, or to help you to get better more quickly.
After you've had your baby, ask your midwife or GP how you can get hold of emergency medical help, if you need it. Put these details, and your maternity notes, in a safe place, and tell your family where you keep them. This will help the ambulance crew to start the appropriate treatment straight away.
Which postnatal symptoms need emergency treatment?Get immediate medical help if you have any of the following:
Sudden or persistent heavy blood loss, including clots (postpartum haemorrhage) (Marchant 2009, NICE 2006).
This may be accompanied by signs of shock, such as a racing heartbeat, dizziness, sweating and feeling faint. If the bleeding becomes heavier, and soaks more than one pad an hour, or if you're passing fresh clots larger than a 50p piece, call 999 and ask for an ambulance.
Severe or persistent headache
This may be a side-effect of an epidural or spinal anaesthesia, and may feel like a bad migraine that's worse when you sit or stand (OAA 2011).
You should call your GP the same day, so they can assess you over the phone and then face-to-face, if needed.
However, in the first 72 hours after your baby is born, a bad headache can also be a sign of pre-eclampsia, along with blurred vision, nausea and vomiting (NICE 2006). If you have these symptoms in addition to a bad headache, call 999 and ask for an ambulance.
Raised blood pressure
Your blood pressure should be taken within the first six hours after you have given birth. If the bottom figure (diastolic) is greater than 90, you may have pre-eclampsia, and be at risk of eclampsia. You should have your blood pressure taken again within four hours if you have no other symptoms (NICE 2006).
In the meantime, if you develop other signs of pre-eclampsia, such as headache, blurred vision or sickness, you should call 999 and ask for an ambulance immediately (NICE 2006).
Upper abdominal pain
You may have a rare condition called HELLP syndrome if you gave birth within about the last 48 hours and have the following symptoms:
- are feeling extremely worn out
- have vomited, and feel nauseous
- feel tenderness or pain in your upper abdomen (Lloyd 2009, NICE 2006)
Shortness of breath
Being short of breath is usually the result of doing something active, such as walking up a hill. However, if you become very breathless, and it doesn't stop when you rest, you need immediate help. It may be a sign of a clot stuck in a blood vessel of your lung (pulmonary embolism) (NICE 2006). Call your GP surgery the same day.
Chest pain
Having a pain in your chest may be a sign of a chest infection, or of strained muscles from exertion in labour. However, it could also be a sign of a pulmonary embolism, so you shouldn't ignore it (NICE 2006). If you are also short of breath and/or coughing up blood, call your GP surgery, or go to your nearest A&E.
Calf pain
Pain, swelling or tenderness in your calf could be deep vein thrombosis (DVT) (NICE 2006). This is a blood clot in the deep veins of the muscle, and can be life-threatening. You may also have redness, particularly at the back of your leg, below where your knee bends, and a feeling of heaviness or warmth in the area of the clot (NHS Choices 2012). If this is the case, call your GP surgery the same day.
Manic behaviour, including insomnia and severe agitation
After having a baby, some mums experience dramatic changes in their emotional and mental health. Thought disorders, severe agitation, confusion and delusions can be the beginning of a rare condition called postpartum psychosis (MIND 2010, SIGN 2012). Mild symptoms can develop into serious mental illness within a matter of hours, so it's important that you get treatment (SIGN 2012). Call your GP surgery the same day.
Very high fever (38 degrees C or over)
High fever can be accompanied by shivering, and is a sign of infection. If you have an infection that is not treated straight away after having your baby, you may become very ill, very quickly.
The common places for infection are in the area between your vagina and rectum (perineum), a caesarean wound, your urinary system or your uterus (womb). If you have an infection in your uterus, you may also have pain in your tummy and/or smelly discharge from your vagina (lochia) (NICE 2006). Call your GP surgery the same day.
Unable to wee within six hours of your baby's birth
If you have not weed a good amount within this time, you may have urine retention (NICE 2006). If you've had your baby in hospital, your midwives will automatically keep an eye on how much wee you pass. If you are at home, having a warm bath or shower may help (NICE 2006). If you still can't wee, you should call your GP surgery the same day.
Which postnatal conditions are urgent, but can wait until morning?Speak to your midwife, health visitor or GP as soon as possible if you have any of the following symptoms:
Unpleasant, smelly vaginal discharge
This can indicate an infection in your womb or vagina (NICE 2006).
A tender tummy
This can be a sign of an infection (NICE 2006), and may be on the outside of your tummy around your stitches, if you've had a caesarean. Or it may be inside your womb, as the place where the placenta comes away from is a wound that needs to heal. If an infection in your womb is left untreated, it can increase your risk of heavy bleeding (postpartum haemorrhage), so it's important to seek help.
Severe, swollen prolapsed piles
Though piles are common, they can become very swollen and painful after your baby's birth. Piles are varicose veins just inside the anus, but they can pass outside (prolapsed piles). If you have severe, swollen or prolapsed piles, or any bleeding from your rectum, seek help (NICE 2006).
Baby blues that don't go away within a few days
It's common to feel moody, weepy, tired or anxious within three days to five days of giving birth. These baby blues usually pass within a few hours or days. But if you continue to feel very low, and aren't enjoying being a mum, you could be suffering from postnatal depression (MIND 2010). Speak to your health visitor or GP, so they can give you the help and support that you need.
Suicidal thoughts
If you are having morbid thoughts, or are thinking about suicide, seek help (NHS Choices 2011).
Having thoughts like this doesn't mean that you are a bad mum, or that your baby will be taken away from you if you tell someone (MIND 2010). Contact your GP or midwife, or talk to a friend or member of your family, so they can get help for you. You'll be given the support you need to look after yourself and your baby.
Severe perineal pain, perhaps with stinging and smelly urine
This could be an infection in your stitches or a urine infection (NICE 2006). A midwife or GP should examine you to check that your perineum is healing properly. It could also be a blood-filled swelling (haematoma), or a large bruise, inside the tissues of your vagina.
Leaking from your bottom
Needing to rush to the loo is common after having a baby. But if you are leaking from your bottom before you get to the loo, and can't control your bowel movements (faecal incontinence)(NICE 2006), call your GP or midwife as soon as possible.
It may be a couple of days after giving birth before you feel the urge to have a poo. If you haven't had a poo within three days, and are feeling constipated and uncomfortable, tell your doctor or midwife, so you can prevent it from getting worse (NICE 2006).

The American Public Health Association (APHA) has been advancing quality improvement in both health care delivery and public health and has been on the forefront of ensuring quality in public health systems through its standards setting texts, education programs, and policies that promote quality improvement in a range of public health systems. APHA participated with its key partners to promote the National Public Health Performance Standards Program (NPHPSP), the accreditation of public health agencies, and the certification of graduate trained public health workers.
APHA remains committed to promoting quality improvements in public health systems. This effort is in keeping with the recent consensus statement developed by the Public Health Quality Forum (PHQF) under the leadership of the Assistant Secretary for Health (ASH), U.S. Department of Human Services (HHS). View the Statement on Quality in the Public Health System.
The Public Health Quality Forum (PHQF) defines quality as follows:Quality in public health is the degree to which policies, programs, services and research for the population increase desired health outcomes and conditions in which the population can be healthy.
The Assistant Secretary for Health, Dr. Howard Koh, in support of these efforts remarked that: "A fundamental function of the public health system is to safeguard and improve the quality of health in America." Dr Koh released a statement on September 21, 2009 entitled "Quality in the Public Health System".
Expanding on Dr. Koh's "Vision for Public Health Quality", "Priority Areas for Improvement of Quality in Public Health" was published by P. A. Honore and Wakina Scott, U.S. Department of Human Services, Office of the Assistant Secretary of Health November 2010. View the complete publication (PDF)

Rock Revival Sasha Easy Boot Stretch Jean 2 2
So Cute! I've seen these online for a while, but wasn't interested. Thought they might be plain and baggy in the butt as shown on the model. However, I saw them in store today and they are so much cuter in person! There's a lot of silver stitching throughout and it really just shines in person. Also, they are very stretchy, which I like. I sized down one size from my normal easy fit size. Love them! June 16, 2013
So Comfortable The waist on the pants are stretchy which I love & the fabric is very soft. I would definitely recommend these jeans. The only problem I have had is the diamonds on the butt have started to fall off, which is disappointing. I love Rocks and have many pairs, this is the first time I have had a problem with their jeans. I may have to see if I can exchange them for another pair. December 31, 2012

No. 72: Connecticut
By Paul Myerberg // Jun 26, 2012
Welcome to Storrs, Conn., home of diminishing quarterback results since the last time Dan Orlovsky buttoned his chin strap for the hometown Huskies. That would be in 2004, eight seasons ago – an eternity in college football, as you know, and a period that encompasses the program's entire history as a member of the Big East. Last fall, trick-shot-artist-turned-starter Johnny McEntee completed a hair more than 50 percent of his attempts while throwing 12 touchdowns; that doesn't sound like much, but McEntee's touchdown total was a program-high since 2007, when Tyler Lorenzen tossed 13 scores. As a team, the Huskies have thrown for 11,346 yards over the last five years. If that doesn't sound that bad, think of that number a different way: UConn's averaging 177.3 passing yards per game since 2007. Good, average? Nope. That's just not good enough, period, and it's a situation that Paul Pasqualoni and his staff must rectify immediately – or if not today, at some point before September.

The Portola High School girls' basketball team won two playoff games at home last week to advance to the Northern Section Division V semifinals.

Comments On Feb 24, 2014:I can only comment on what I have since I never used the product before. I like the system and the mount work great, but I would like better instructions and more information on where and how the mounts could be located. That's just me, a rookie at this sport. Other than that, the system is great and I have ordered more mounts to resolve MY issues.

Comments On Jun 17, 2013:Works great but I did have to get longer bolts the ones that come with it are to short.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Apr 04, 2013:Made securing the rotopax a breeze. Very well made and easy to use. Reason for 4 stars is the price. To expensive, but it works.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Feb 18, 2013:I think the included mounting bolts could be just a little longer, maybe 1/4 inch longer. Would have made it easier to install. My front rack had predrilled holes that lined up. Also maybe include lock washers, I had some that I put on, I don't want my gas can falling off while going down a trail.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Dec 31, 2012:This holder is very secure. The only issue is that once you tighten it securely, it takes very strong hands to loosen it to get the rotopax can loose.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Jul 02, 2011:I really like how positive a lock you get when used with the Rotopax fuel pack. I really recommend using this system to mount your Rotopax fuel pack. My only suggestion is the backing plate is a little flimzy and you will most likely need extra length screws. The screws that come with the kit are too short. When I mounted my kit, I actually had to bend my backing plate in order for it make a tight fit, but other than that, it looks good and is a solid mount.

Comments On Mar 15, 2011:Nice quality but would be good if they included some longer bolts to give you more options.

Article Summary
Sid Lee Architecture is the design firm behind the transformation of a 1950's steam ferry, currently named Bota Bota. The storied ship once operated as a ferryboat between Sorel and Berthier, Quebec during the 50's and 60's, followed by a stint as a Richelieu River show boat. The ship is now anchored at the Quays of the Old Port of Montreal and has been completely refurbished into a day spa, featuring five decks fitted with various spa installations.

Some Lyme moms have come together to make a generous teacher's idea come to life....a gesture that will help families devastated by Hurricane Sandy enjoy the holidays.
Lyme Consolidated teacher, Kim Strachan, along with her family, lost all of her treasured Christmas ornaments in a house fire when she was young.
After seeing the destruction in Staten Island, she realized the same thing must have happened to many families in our neighboring state. For many of us, these mementos represent special times and traditions.
Now, on Sunday, local folks will be gathering to make ornaments and assemble starter kits for new holiday decorations for New York families. Also, donations of gently used ornaments, lights and unwrapped toys will be accepted.
Strachan contacted the borough president in Staten Island and he is touched by the idea and eager to accept the donations.
If you want to take part in this lovely gesture or donate items on Sunday, click here to connect with the event's Facebook page and learn more information.

FORTUNE -- It's hard to imagine a more difficult leadership problem to tackle than transit logistics in New York and New Jersey. But Patrick Foye, the executive director of the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey insists that his job is not a nightmare. That's despite being in charge of an organization that oversees the major airports in both states, all of the bridges and tunnels connecting them, the PATH train line, and owns 90% of one of the World Trade Center buildings.
It's a worthwhile challenge, he says, and it's one he's prepared for after holding leadership positions in the private sector and serving as Governor Cuomo's Deputy Secretary for Economic Development. Foye started his new job at Port Authority in November 2011. He speaks with Fortune about his plans to get some of the United States' most densely populated areas running right.
Fortune: So you started just a few months ago. What are some of the unexpected challenges of the job?
Patrick Foye: The thing I would start with is that this agency was attacked twice by terrorists. Once in 1993 and then again on 9/11. The government is not a natural real estate developer, but as a result of decisions made originally by Governor Rockefeller in 1960, we owned and developed the World Trade Center site. We're doing the same thing for the second time. The memory of 9/11, appropriately, weighs heavily on the veterans here.
How do you keep people safe from seemingly unpredictable acts of violence?
I'm not going to give you an exact number, but billions of dollars have gone into hardening and protecting our existing assets from a homeland security point of view. One World Trade Center, when it is completed, is going to be the most secure class-A office building in the world, and we've spent every dollar necessary to achieve that goal. The building is scheduled to be complete in the fourth quarter of 2013 or the first quarter of 2014.
That's soon. What other projects have you worked on in your first three months?
One of the things we did this week was announce a "Wall of Shame" for toll evaders, which are largely commercial truckers; we put them up on the Internet. Now, part of the story is shame on the Port Authority for not having been more proactive in the past. But frankly, people, truckers especially, who had been engaged in a deliberate and willful business strategy to avoid tolls, have been calling and putting up the white flag and saying, 'How much to I owe and who do I write a check to?'"
Will the "Wall of Shame" make a difference to Port Authority?
Well look, one, I think over a period of years, it's tens of millions of dollars. That's a lot of money. Two, we've got to send the message that we're serious, that we're focused, that we're vigilant. Not collecting tolls from the people who owe us is totally inconsistent with that. And those dollars are desperately needed here.
Are there any changes you plan on making internally?
One of the criticisms on the Port Authority in the past is that there had been secrecy about compensation. We're now reporting that quarterly and putting it on our website. In a different place than the "Wall of Shame," but it's on the same website.
There is way too much process here. And in my opinion, we're way too slow. One of the things I'm very focused on is increasing the speed. The businesses that Fortune writes about operate in a world where real-time, fast decision-making is necessary for survival, and government often doesn't operate at the same pace. It has to. That doesn't mean being reckless, but being more responsive.
How do you personally manage such massive projects?
The way to manage it is to be very granular, break it into pieces. On the large projects, I've asked for reports every week on the number of days to completion that we've lost or gained that week. On the World Trade Center, I get daily reports on the number of pieces of steel fabricated, delivered, and erected each day.
That is quite granular.
I'm hands-on, for better or worse. I think better. I've worked in Type-A organizations my whole life. It's just the way I am. That's why I get daily steel reports. I want information now, in real time.
During your experiences at all of those "Type-A organizations," what's the most important thing you've learned about leadership?
I've been in leadership positions in big organizations and in medium-sized organizations and I'm a leader -- not the leader, I'm a leader -- of my family, which is one wife and three children. And I've learned that it is far tougher to manage a small organization than a large one.
Tougher to manage four people than a major metropolitan transit system?
I've been at a law firm with over 1,000 employees, the Port Authority has 7,000 employees, and managing family issues with a spouse and three children is way harder. It's my story and I'm sticking with it.

Financial Aid Disbursements
Spring 2014
The mailing of refund checks will begin three (3) business days after the disbursement of financial aid to the students' account. Financial aid will be disbursed to students' account starting January 28, 2014.

"It's a really amazing-quality genome," says David Reich of Harvard Medical School in Boston. "It's as good as modern human genome sequences, from a lot of ways of measuring it."
The pinky belonged to a girl who lived tens of thousands of years ago. Scientists aren't sure about the exact age. She is a member of an extinct group of humans called Denisovans. The name comes from Denisova cave in Siberia, where the pinky was found.
Two years ago, scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig reported that they had been able to get just enough DNA from the fossil to make a rough sequence of her DNA. But Matthias Meyer developed a far more efficient way of recovering ancient DNA, so he went back to the tiny amount of DNA left over from the first effort, and reanalyzed it.
"And from this little leftover, we were able to determine the sequence of the Denisova genome 30-fold over," says Meyer.
What that means is they were able to look at every single location along all of this girl's chromosomes 30 times to be absolutely certain that they had the right DNA letter in the right spot. The new results appear in the online edition of the journal Science.
The high-quality sequence gives scientists valuable new data for studying ancient humans. Researchers have begun, for example, to explore which modern human populations may have inherited genes from Denisovans.

text: Small Cereal Rye Cover Should Respond Well Next Spring Next step will be knowing how and when to kill it before planting. Published on: Dec 7, 2012 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print The stand of rye into soybean stubble on Mike Andrew's farm near Rising Sun was nearly perfect. He had no-tilled it, and the stand was even and well-spaced. The only problem was that it seemed a bit small. "He must have seeded it late," says Duane Drockelman, watershed coordinator for the South Laughery Creek Watershed in southeast Indiana. "It's an excellent stand, but it's just not very big yet." As it turns out, Andrew seeded it several weeks ago. Cereal rye has one of the widest planting windows of any of the cover crops. Most experts say it can be seeded up until November 1, and still survive most winters. "It just didn't take off very fast, but the stand is good," Andrew says. This is his first year to try cover crops, and he used various mixes and methods of application, depending upon the field and his purpose.Great stand: This rye cover crop may be relatively small, but it's an excellent stand. It should provide good cover and help loosen up the soil by root growth next spring. Drockelman believes the rye will likely be big enough with enough root growth to survive winter easily. Sometimes the rye barely emerges and still survives. The key is how well it grows and how quickly it grows next spring. Usually the problem in spring is catching it before it gets too big and knocking it down by killing it, Drockelman observes. It is a crop that can be a foot tall one week and seemingly four feet tall the next. Left unchecked it will grow even taller. Fortunately it is relatively easy to kill. Some people choose to plant into it and then kill it. "I want to knock it down early," Andrew says. "Since I haven't done this before, the next big hurdle with my cover crops is killing them in a timely manner this spring." The trick is to let them get big enough to grow enough roots to provide soil tilth and help improve soil health, while not getting so big that they create problems either with killing them, or interfering in the planter operation. Drockelman suggests going after the rye when it's not much more than a foot tall. He says he would lean on the early side, especially since the farmer doesn't have experience in knocking down cover crops.
